Official Southern States gas lawn mower parts

Southern States gas walk-behind lawn mower frequently replaced parts

• Ignition coil. The ignition coil can be easy to test. If you have a spark plug tester handy, use it to find out if the spark plug is receiving electrical current from your ignition coil. If it's not, then it could be time to replace your ignition coil.
• Carburetor. A clogged carburetor can cause a walk-behind mower to not start, to sputter, to run rough or to stop running after short periods of time. Replacing this part is often less expensive than rebuilding it, although rebuilding is also an option.
• Wheel. Lawn mower wheels wear out due to frequent wear and tear.
• Recoil starter. Replace the recoil starter if it doesn't spin the flywheel to start the engine when you pull the starter rope.

What to do when your Southern States gas walk-behind mower engine won't stay running

Fuel system problems often cause the engine to stall, so you'll need to rebuild or replace the carburetor if it won't stay running. Our fuel, ignition and compression problems video provides additional tips for troubleshooting fuel system problems.

Some engines stall if the gas cap vent gets clogged. Check your mower's gas cap and clear the vent if it has one. Tuning up the mower engine may also help keep the engine running as you mow the grass.
